One thing I will give LeBron though is even though he has been pretty bad from the perimeter, he made a big jumper to start the second half of Game 7 and he got Smith going, too. They were some thing like 2-20 or 2-22 outside the paint in the first half. He immediately set the tone to turn that around.

That said, Jordan hitting like eight jumpers isn't a row wouldn't have been unusual. Much better shooter. I also think he could have shot the ball well from distance, it just wasn't a staple of his game. Same thing with handling the ball. Jordan was excellent at it, he just didn't play in this dribble to death era. There were lots of isos, sure, but Jordan was a much more economical ball-handler than guys today (Bron, Kyrie, Russy, et al).
